Home My WebLink AboutOUTDOOR EVACUATION SIGNALS - 23-00065 - 7N Apartments - Bldg 1 - Fire AlarmWGES / WGEC Series Outdoor Evacuation Signals 24 VDC Outdoor Commander Strobe and Horn/Strobe 1 unit per carton, 3 pounds per carton Assembled in the USA Applications The Outdoor Commander Series is a outdoor listed strobe and horn/strobe comination that offers dependable visible and/or audible alarms for all outdoor needs. The WGE Series offers a fixed 75 candela strobe. The WGEC horn/strobe offers a continuous or synchable temporal 3 in 2400Hz, mechanical and chime as well as a whoop tone. All tones are easy for the professional to change in the field by the use of switches. Included with the WGE Series is the GOE or GOELP outdoor enclosure. The enclosure is made of high quality Lexan® material, providing protection from weather related conditions and allowing the necessary full candela output. This highly constructed enclosure meets various installation requirements including deterring moisture from entering the enclosures. The Outdoor Commander Series is equipped with a standard 4” mounting plate which incorporates the Super-Slide® feature that allows the installer to easily test for supervision. The product also features a locking mechanism which secures the product to the bracket without any screws showing. The WGE Series also features the Checkmate® instant voltage verification feature which allows the installer to check the voltage drop draw and match it to the blueprint. The WGE Series appliances are ANSI/UL 464, ANSI/UL 1638, CAN/ULC S525 and/or CAN/ULC S526 listed for use with fire protective systems and are warranted for three years from date of purchase.

WGE 24 VDC Series Strobe Current Ratings Candela 24 VDC UL Max 75 cd 112 mA 170 mA * Operating the horn in this mode at this voltage will result in not meeting the minimum ANSI/UL 464 reverberant sound level required for public mode fire protection service. These settings are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm use. Use the high dBA setting for public mode application (not applicable when using the chime tone. The chime tone is always private mode).

Gentex Checkmate® Instant Voltage Verification It is often necessary to confirm the voltage drop along a line of devices. The access holes are provided in the back of the terminal block to allow the voltage to be measured directly without removing the device. Typically this would be done at the end of the line to confirm design criteria. Most measurements will be taken using the S+ and S- locations although access is provided to other locations. Notice: Care should be taken to not short the test probes. Notes • The WGE Series is listed for outdoor use. Indoor operating temperature: 32° to 120°F (0° to 49°C). Outdoor operating temperature: -31° to 150°F (-35° to 66°C) • For nominal and peak current across ANSI/UL regulated voltage range for filtered DC power and unfiltered (FWR [Full Wave Rectified]) power, see installation manual • The sound output for the temporal 3 tone is rated lower since the time the horn is off is averaged into the sound output rating. While the horn is producing a tone in the temporal 3 mode, its sound pressure is the same as the continuous mode. • This appliance is not recommended for use on coded or pulsing signaling circuits Fire Protection Products Group | 10985 Chicago Drive | Zeeland, MI 49464 gentex.com | Phone: 616.392.7195 | Toll-free: 800.436.8391 | Fax: 616.392.4219 551-0047-04 Architect & Engineering Specifications The audible and/or visible signal shall be Gentex WGES, WGEC Outdoor Evacuation Signal Series or approved equal and shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. per ANSI/UL 1638 and/or ANSI/UL 464 and CAN/ULC S526 and/or CAN/ULCS525.
